RIYADH: A fifth Saudi relief plane carrying aid from the Kingdom for Gaza arrived at El-Arish International Airport in Egypt on Monday. The aid was dispatched from King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh.
The plane transported 35 tons of materials, including food and shelter, as part of the Saudi campaign to assist the people of Gaza, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
This initiative was launched by order of King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, in alignment with the Kingdom’s longstanding commitment to supporting the Palestinian people during times of crisis.
Four Saudi relief planes, each carrying 35 tons of aid, arrived in Egypt on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, respectively.
KSrelief, in line with the directives of the king and crown prince, also launched a national fundraising campaign on the Sahem platform to provide assistance to Palestinians in Gaza.
The Sahem platform by Monday had been accessed by more than 735,000 people, who donated over SR475 million ($127 million) to the campaign.
On Sunday, the first aid convoys from Saudi Arabia crossed Egypt’s Rafah Border Crossing, heading to the besieged Gaza Strip.
